Comments on: Anna Carter, Carters Steam Fair https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/08/22/anna-carter-carters-steam-farm/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Fri, 27 Sep 2013 07:05:20 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Gina https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/08/22/anna-carter-carters-steam-farm/#comment-181678 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 07:05:20 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=96219#comment-181678 I’ve always loved fairgrounds since my childhood when I used to go to the famous Barnet Fair which was a horse fair too. I look forward to Carters coming round each year to Victoria Park. Vintage at its best, see you next year!

I travelled many miles last year just to see it again (at Weston Super Mare). As a child I shared a garage with Percy Waddington of Bradford who in turn
looked after the steam boats (Shamrock and Columbia) at the Bowling Tide Fair. He was a
wonderful man who always had that wonderful greasy mechanical smell about him that you
get working with steam engines. I just loved it and it all came back to me 60 years later after
seeing your wonderful set up.
I just can’t recommend it highly enough.

This blog features many interesting people and things.
